Options¶

--rule-group-name (string)

The descriptive name of the rule group. You can’t change the name of a rule group after you create it.

--rule-group (structure)

An object that defines the rule group rules.

Note

You must provide either this rule group setting or a Rules setting, but not both.

RuleVariables -> (structure)

Settings that are available for use in the rules in the rule group. You can only use these for stateful rule groups.

IPSets -> (map)

A list of IP addresses and address ranges, in CIDR notation.

key -> (string)

value -> (structure)

A list of IP addresses and address ranges, in CIDR notation. This is part of a RuleVariables .

Definition -> (list)

The list of IP addresses and address ranges, in CIDR notation.

(string)

PortSets -> (map)

A list of port ranges.

key -> (string)

value -> (structure)

A set of port ranges for use in the rules in a rule group.

Definition -> (list)

The set of port ranges.

(string)

ReferenceSets -> (structure)

The list of a rule group’s reference sets.

IPSetReferences -> (map)

The list of IP set references.

key -> (string)

value -> (structure)

Configures one or more IP set references for a Suricata-compatible rule group. This is used in CreateRuleGroup or UpdateRuleGroup . An IP set reference is a rule variable that references a resource that you create and manage in another Amazon Web Services service, such as an Amazon VPC prefix list. Network Firewall IP set references enable you to dynamically update the contents of your rules. When you create, update, or delete the IP set you are referencing in your rule, Network Firewall automatically updates the rule’s content with the changes. For more information about IP set references in Network Firewall, see Using IP set references in the Network Firewall Developer Guide .

Network Firewall currently supports only Amazon VPC prefix lists as IP set references.

ReferenceArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the resource that you are referencing in your rule group.

RulesSource -> (structure)

The stateful rules or stateless rules for the rule group.

RulesString -> (string)

Stateful inspection criteria, provided in Suricata compatible intrusion prevention system (IPS) rules. Suricata is an open-source network IPS that includes a standard rule-based language for network traffic inspection.

These rules contain the inspection criteria and the action to take for traffic that matches the criteria, so this type of rule group doesn’t have a separate action setting.

RulesSourceList -> (structure)

Stateful inspection criteria for a domain list rule group.

Targets -> (list)

The domains that you want to inspect for in your traffic flows. Valid domain specifications are the following:

Explicit names. For example, abc.example.com matches only the domain abc.example.com .

Names that use a domain wildcard, which you indicate with an initial ‘. ‘. For example,``.example.com`` matches example.com and matches all subdomains of example.com , such as abc.example.com and www.example.com .

(string)

TargetTypes -> (list)

The protocols you want to inspect. Specify TLS_SNI for HTTPS . Specify HTTP_HOST for HTTP . You can specify either or both.

(string)

GeneratedRulesType -> (string)

Whether you want to allow or deny access to the domains in your target list.

StatefulRules -> (list)

An array of individual stateful rules inspection criteria to be used together in a stateful rule group. Use this option to specify simple Suricata rules with protocol, source and destination, ports, direction, and rule options. For information about the Suricata Rules format, see Rules Format .

(structure)

A single Suricata rules specification, for use in a stateful rule group. Use this option to specify a simple Suricata rule with protocol, source and destination, ports, direction, and rule options. For information about the Suricata Rules format, see Rules Format .

Action -> (string)

Defines what Network Firewall should do with the packets in a traffic flow when the flow matches the stateful rule criteria. For all actions, Network Firewall performs the specified action and discontinues stateful inspection of the traffic flow.

The actions for a stateful rule are defined as follows:

PASS - Permits the packets to go to the intended destination.

DROP - Blocks the packets from going to the intended destination and sends an alert log message, if alert logging is configured in the Firewall LoggingConfiguration .

ALERT - Permits the packets to go to the intended destination and sends an alert log message, if alert logging is configured in the Firewall LoggingConfiguration . You can use this action to test a rule that you intend to use to drop traffic. You can enable the rule with ALERT action, verify in the logs that the rule is filtering as you want, then change the action to DROP .

REJECT - Drops TCP traffic that matches the conditions of the stateful rule, and sends a TCP reset packet back to sender of the packet. A TCP reset packet is a packet with no payload and a RST bit contained in the TCP header flags. Also sends an alert log mesage if alert logging is configured in the Firewall LoggingConfiguration . REJECT isn’t currently available for use with IMAP and FTP protocols.

Header -> (structure)

The stateful inspection criteria for this rule, used to inspect traffic flows.

Protocol -> (string)

The protocol to inspect for. To specify all, you can use IP , because all traffic on Amazon Web Services and on the internet is IP.

Source -> (string)

The source IP address or address range to inspect for, in CIDR notation. To match with any address, specify ANY .

Specify an IP address or a block of IP addresses in Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation. Network Firewall supports all address ranges for IPv4 and IPv6.

Examples:

To configure Network Firewall to inspect for the IP address 192.0.2.44, specify 192.0.2.44/32 .

Direction -> (string)

The direction of traffic flow to inspect. If set to ANY , the inspection matches bidirectional traffic, both from the source to the destination and from the destination to the source. If set to FORWARD , the inspection only matches traffic going from the source to the destination.

Destination -> (string)

The destination IP address or address range to inspect for, in CIDR notation. To match with any address, specify ANY .

Specify an IP address or a block of IP addresses in Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation. Network Firewall supports all address ranges for IPv4 and IPv6.

SourcePorts -> (list)

The source ports to inspect for. If not specified, this matches with any source port. This setting is only used for protocols 6 (TCP) and 17 (UDP).

You can specify individual ports, for example 1994 and you can specify port ranges, for example 1990:1994 .

(structure)

A single port range specification. This is used for source and destination port ranges in the stateless rule MatchAttributes , SourcePorts , and DestinationPorts settings.

FromPort -> (integer)

The lower limit of the port range. This must be less than or equal to the ToPort specification.

ToPort -> (integer)

The upper limit of the port range. This must be greater than or equal to the FromPort specification.

DestinationPorts -> (list)

The destination ports to inspect for. If not specified, this matches with any destination port. This setting is only used for protocols 6 (TCP) and 17 (UDP).

You can specify individual ports, for example 1994 and you can specify port ranges, for example 1990:1994 .

(structure)

A single port range specification. This is used for source and destination port ranges in the stateless rule MatchAttributes , SourcePorts , and DestinationPorts settings.

FromPort -> (integer)

The lower limit of the port range. This must be less than or equal to the ToPort specification.

ToPort -> (integer)

The upper limit of the port range. This must be greater than or equal to the FromPort specification.

Protocols -> (list)

The protocols to inspect for, specified using each protocol’s assigned internet protocol number (IANA). If not specified, this matches with any protocol.

(integer)

TCPFlags -> (list)

The TCP flags and masks to inspect for. If not specified, this matches with any settings. This setting is only used for protocol 6 (TCP).

(structure)

TCP flags and masks to inspect packets for, used in stateless rules MatchAttributes settings.

Flags -> (list)

Used in conjunction with the Masks setting to define the flags that must be set and flags that must not be set in order for the packet to match. This setting can only specify values that are also specified in the Masks setting.

For the flags that are specified in the masks setting, the following must be true for the packet to match:

The ones that are set in this flags setting must be set in the packet.

The ones that are not set in this flags setting must also not be set in the packet.

(string)

Masks -> (list)

The set of flags to consider in the inspection. To inspect all flags in the valid values list, leave this with no setting.

(string)

Actions -> (list)

The actions to take on a packet that matches one of the stateless rule definition’s match attributes. You must specify a standard action and you can add custom actions.

Note

Network Firewall only forwards a packet for stateful rule inspection if you specify aws:forward_to_sfe for a rule that the packet matches, or if the packet doesn’t match any stateless rule and you specify aws:forward_to_sfe for the StatelessDefaultActions setting for the FirewallPolicy .

For every rule, you must specify exactly one of the following standard actions.

aws:pass - Discontinues all inspection of the packet and permits it to go to its intended destination.

aws:drop - Discontinues all inspection of the packet and blocks it from going to its intended destination.

aws:forward_to_sfe - Discontinues stateless inspection of the packet and forwards it to the stateful rule engine for inspection.

Additionally, you can specify a custom action. To do this, you define a custom action by name and type, then provide the name you’ve assigned to the action in this Actions setting. For information about the options, see CustomAction .

To provide more than one action in this setting, separate the settings with a comma. For example, if you have a custom PublishMetrics action that you’ve named MyMetricsAction , then you could specify the standard action aws:pass and the custom action with [“aws:pass”, “MyMetricsAction”] .

(string)

Priority -> (integer)

Indicates the order in which to run this rule relative to all of the rules that are defined for a stateless rule group. Network Firewall evaluates the rules in a rule group starting with the lowest priority setting. You must ensure that the priority settings are unique for the rule group.

Each stateless rule group uses exactly one StatelessRulesAndCustomActions object, and each StatelessRulesAndCustomActions contains exactly one StatelessRules object. To ensure unique priority settings for your rule groups, set unique priorities for the stateless rules that you define inside any single StatelessRules object.

You can change the priority settings of your rules at any time. To make it easier to insert rules later, number them so there’s a wide range in between, for example use 100, 200, and so on.

CustomActions -> (list)

Defines an array of individual custom action definitions that are available for use by the stateless rules in this StatelessRulesAndCustomActions specification. You name each custom action that you define, and then you can use it by name in your StatelessRule RuleDefinition Actions specification.

(structure)

An optional, non-standard action to use for stateless packet handling. You can define this in addition to the standard action that you must specify.

You define and name the custom actions that you want to be able to use, and then you reference them by name in your actions settings.

You can use custom actions in the following places:

In a rule group’s StatelessRulesAndCustomActions specification. The custom actions are available for use by name inside the StatelessRulesAndCustomActions where you define them. You can use them for your stateless rule actions to specify what to do with a packet that matches the rule’s match attributes.

In a FirewallPolicy specification, in StatelessCustomActions . The custom actions are available for use inside the policy where you define them. You can use them for the policy’s default stateless actions settings to specify what to do with packets that don’t match any of the policy’s stateless rules.

ActionName -> (string)

The descriptive name of the custom action. You can’t change the name of a custom action after you create it.

ActionDefinition -> (structure)

The custom action associated with the action name.

PublishMetricAction -> (structure)

Stateless inspection criteria that publishes the specified metrics to Amazon CloudWatch for the matching packet. This setting defines a CloudWatch dimension value to be published.

You can pair this custom action with any of the standard stateless rule actions. For example, you could pair this in a rule action with the standard action that forwards the packet for stateful inspection. Then, when a packet matches the rule, Network Firewall publishes metrics for the packet and forwards it.

Dimensions -> (list)

(structure)

The value to use in an Amazon CloudWatch custom metric dimension. This is used in the PublishMetrics CustomAction . A CloudWatch custom metric dimension is a name/value pair that’s part of the identity of a metric.

Network Firewall sets the dimension name to CustomAction and you provide the dimension value.

For more information about CloudWatch custom metric dimensions, see Publishing Custom Metrics in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide .

Value -> (string)

The value to use in the custom metric dimension.

StatefulRuleOptions -> (structure)

Additional options governing how Network Firewall handles stateful rules. The policies where you use your stateful rule group must have stateful rule options settings that are compatible with these settings.

RuleOrder -> (string)

Indicates how to manage the order of the rule evaluation for the rule group. DEFAULT_ACTION_ORDER is the default behavior. Stateful rules are provided to the rule engine as Suricata compatible strings, and Suricata evaluates them based on certain settings. For more information, see Evaluation order for stateful rules in the Network Firewall Developer Guide .

--rules (string)

A string containing stateful rule group rules specifications in Suricata flat format, with one rule per line. Use this to import your existing Suricata compatible rule groups.

Note

You must provide either this rules setting or a populated RuleGroup setting, but not both.

You can provide your rule group specification in Suricata flat format through this setting when you create or update your rule group. The call response returns a RuleGroup object that Network Firewall has populated from your string.

--type (string)

Indicates whether the rule group is stateless or stateful. If the rule group is stateless, it contains stateless rules. If it is stateful, it contains stateful rules.

Possible values:

STATELESS

STATEFUL

--description (string)

A description of the rule group.

--capacity (integer)

The maximum operating resources that this rule group can use. Rule group capacity is fixed at creation. When you update a rule group, you are limited to this capacity. When you reference a rule group from a firewall policy, Network Firewall reserves this capacity for the rule group.

You can retrieve the capacity that would be required for a rule group before you create the rule group by calling CreateRuleGroup with DryRun set to TRUE .

Note

You can’t change or exceed this capacity when you update the rule group, so leave room for your rule group to grow.

Capacity for a stateless rule group

For a stateless rule group, the capacity required is the sum of the capacity requirements of the individual rules that you expect to have in the rule group.

To calculate the capacity requirement of a single rule, multiply the capacity requirement values of each of the rule’s match settings:

A match setting with no criteria specified has a value of 1.

A match setting with Any specified has a value of 1.

All other match settings have a value equal to the number of elements provided in the setting. For example, a protocol setting [“UDP”] and a source setting [“10.0.0.0/24”] each have a value of 1. A protocol setting [“UDP”,”TCP”] has a value of 2. A source setting [“10.0.0.0/24”,”10.0.0.1/24”,”10.0.0.2/24”] has a value of 3.

A rule with no criteria specified in any of its match settings has a capacity requirement of 1. A rule with protocol setting [“UDP”,”TCP”], source setting [“10.0.0.0/24”,”10.0.0.1/24”,”10.0.0.2/24”], and a single specification or no specification for each of the other match settings has a capacity requirement of 6.

Capacity for a stateful rule group

For a stateful rule group, the minimum capacity required is the number of individual rules that you expect to have in the rule group.

--tags (list)

The key:value pairs to associate with the resource.

(structure)

A key:value pair associated with an Amazon Web Services resource. The key:value pair can be anything you define. Typically, the tag key represents a category (such as “environment”) and the tag value represents a specific value within that category (such as “test,” “development,” or “production”). You can add up to 50 tags to each Amazon Web Services resource.

Key -> (string)

The part of the key:value pair that defines a tag. You can use a tag key to describe a category of information, such as “customer.” Tag keys are case-sensitive.

Value -> (string)

The part of the key:value pair that defines a tag. You can use a tag value to describe a specific value within a category, such as “companyA” or “companyB.” Tag values are case-sensitive.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--dry-run | --no-dry-run (boolean)

Indicates whether you want Network Firewall to just check the validity of the request, rather than run the request.

If set to TRUE , Network Firewall checks whether the request can run successfully, but doesn’t actually make the requested changes. The call returns the value that the request would return if you ran it with dry run set to FALSE , but doesn’t make additions or changes to your resources. This option allows you to make sure that you have the required permissions to run the request and that your request parameters are valid.

If set to FALSE , Network Firewall makes the requested changes to your resources.

--encryption-configuration (structure)

A complex type that contains settings for encryption of your rule group resources.

KeyId -> (string)

The ID of the Amazon Web Services Key Management Service (KMS) customer managed key. You can use any of the key identifiers that KMS supports, unless you’re using a key that’s managed by another account. If you’re using a key managed by another account, then specify the key ARN. For more information, see Key ID in the Amazon Web Services KMS Developer Guide .

Type -> (string)

The type of Amazon Web Services KMS key to use for encryption of your Network Firewall resources.

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyId=string,Type=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "KeyId": "string",
  "Type": "CUSTOMER_KMS"|"AWS_OWNED_KMS_KEY"
}

--source-metadata (structure)

A complex type that contains metadata about the rule group that your own rule group is copied from. You can use the metadata to keep track of updates made to the originating rule group.

SourceArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the rule group that your own rule group is copied from.

SourceUpdateToken -> (string)

The update token of the Amazon Web Services managed rule group that your own rule group is copied from. To determine the update token for the managed rule group, call DescribeRuleGroup .

Shorthand Syntax:

SourceArn=string,SourceUpdateToken=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "SourceArn": "string",
  "SourceUpdateToken": "string"
}

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options¶

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

json
text
table
yaml
yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

on
off
auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

base64
raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

Output¶

UpdateToken -> (string)

A token used for optimistic locking. Network Firewall returns a token to your requests that access the rule group. The token marks the state of the rule group resource at the time of the request.

To make changes to the rule group, you provide the token in your request. Network Firewall uses the token to ensure that the rule group hasn’t changed since you last retrieved it. If it has changed, the operation fails with an InvalidTokenException . If this happens, retrieve the rule group again to get a current copy of it with a current token. Reapply your changes as needed, then try the operation again using the new token.

RuleGroupResponse -> (structure)

The high-level properties of a rule group. This, along with the RuleGroup , define the rule group. You can retrieve all objects for a rule group by calling DescribeRuleGroup .

RuleGroupArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the rule group.

Note

If this response is for a create request that had DryRun set to TRUE , then this ARN is a placeholder that isn’t attached to a valid resource.

RuleGroupName -> (string)

The descriptive name of the rule group. You can’t change the name of a rule group after you create it.

RuleGroupId -> (string)

The unique identifier for the rule group.

Description -> (string)

A description of the rule group.

Type -> (string)

Indicates whether the rule group is stateless or stateful. If the rule group is stateless, it contains stateless rules. If it is stateful, it contains stateful rules.

Capacity -> (integer)

The maximum operating resources that this rule group can use. Rule group capacity is fixed at creation. When you update a rule group, you are limited to this capacity. When you reference a rule group from a firewall policy, Network Firewall reserves this capacity for the rule group.

You can retrieve the capacity that would be required for a rule group before you create the rule group by calling CreateRuleGroup with DryRun set to TRUE .

RuleGroupStatus -> (string)

Detailed information about the current status of a rule group.

Tags -> (list)

The key:value pairs to associate with the resource.

A key:value pair associated with an Amazon Web Services resource. The key:value pair can be anything you define. Typically, the tag key represents a category (such as “environment”) and the tag value represents a specific value within that category (such as “test,” “development,” or “production”). You can add up to 50 tags to each Amazon Web Services resource.

Key -> (string)

The part of the key:value pair that defines a tag. You can use a tag key to describe a category of information, such as “customer.” Tag keys are case-sensitive.
